Navistar Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

- Reports first quarter 2020 net loss of $36 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.8 billion- Generates $59 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter; reports a loss of $33 million in adjusted net income- Finishes the first quarter with $1 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents; $977 million in manufacturing cash and cash equivalents- Reiterates full-year industry and financial guidance, pending any change to operations from the coronavirus

LISLE, Ill., March 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced a first quarter 2020 net loss of $36 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2019 net income of $11 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

Revenues in the quarter were $1.8 billion compared to $2.4 billion in the first quarter last year. The decrease was primarily driven by a 39 percent decrease in the company's Core volumes, which represent its sales of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada.

First quarter 2020 EBITDA was $55 million, compared to $96 million in first quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA in first quarter 2020 was $59 million versus $173 million a year ago.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was a loss of $33 million compared to a gain of $57 million in the first quarter last year.

Navistar finished first quarter 2020 with $1 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and $977 million in manufacturing cash and cash equivalents.

"While revenues are down year-over-year, these results are in line with the guidance we provided in December as the industry works through a transition period," said Troy A. Clarke, Chairman, President and CEO. "Throughout the quarter, we implemented actions to lower costs, yet the results were impacted by lower volumes."

During the quarter, the company received an unsolicited proposal from its alliance partner TRATON regarding a potential transaction to acquire the company. Navistar's Board of Directors is carefully reviewing and evaluating the proposal to determine the course of action it believes is in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders.

Also in the quarter, Navistar received final approval of the MaxxForce EGR engine legal settlement in the U.S. As a result, the company funded $85 million in February, relating to the cash portion of the settlement.

Late last month, the company broke ground on the expansion of its Huntsville, Ala. engine plant. The company will be investing $125 million in the manufacturing facility to produce next-generation, big-bore powertrains being developed with Navistar's global alliance partner TRATON. The expansion will add 110,000 square feet and 145 skilled manufacturing jobs to its existing facility.

"As market conditions improve throughout the year, we have confidence that the company is positioned to build upon its first quarter performance and take advantage of what we expect to be a stronger second half," said Clarke.

The company reiterated both its 2020 industry guidance and full-year financial guidance, pending any change to operations from the coronavirus.

Industry retail deliveries of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada are forecasted to be in the range of 335,000 to 365,000 units, with Class 8 retail deliveries between 210,000 and 240,000 units.

Revenues are expected to be in the range of $9.25 billion to $9.75 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $700 million to $750 million.

Amounts attributable to Navistar International Corporation.

Truck Segment – In first quarter 2020, the Truck segment net sales were $1.2 billion. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to lower volumes in the company's Core markets, partially offset by the ramp up of Class 4/5 units.

The Truck segment incurred a loss of $58 million in first quarter 2020. The year-over-year decline is primarily due to lower volumes in North America, and higher used truck losses and warranty expenses. Additionally, a $54 million gain was recorded in first quarter 2019 related to the sale of a 70 percent equity interest in Navistar Defense, which also impacted year-over-year sales and segment profit comparisons.

Parts Segment – For the first quarter 2020, the Parts segment net sales decreased to $493 million, and segment profit decreased to $119 million. The results were impacted by weaker industry conditions in the U.S. and Canada, which drove lower volumes.

Global Operations Segment – In first quarter 2020, the Global Operations segment net sales decreased to $68 million and maintained breakeven profitability. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar compared to the first quarter of 2019, as well as lower volumes in South American operations. Additionally, a $5 million gain was recorded in first quarter 2019 related to the sale of a former joint venture in China.

Financial Services Segment – In the first quarter of 2020, the Financial Services segment net revenues decreased to $57 million, and segment profit decreased to $17 million. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower originations and average receivable balances.

Earnings (loss) Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA"):We define EBITDA as our consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Navistar International Corporation, net of tax, plus manufacturing interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides meaningful information to the performance of our business and therefore we use it to supplement our GAAP reporting. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (loss):We believe that adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (loss), which excludes certain identified items that we do not consider to be part of our ongoing business, improves the comparability of year to year results, and is representative of our underlying performance. Management uses this information to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the below reconciliations, and to provide an additional measure of performance.

Structural costs consist of Selling, general and administrative expenses and Engineering and product development costs.

(A)

Adjustments to pre-existing warranties reflect changes in our estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior periods. Such adjustments typically occur when claims experience deviates from historic and expected trends. Our warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair costs, and the timing of failures. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to our liability. In addition, new product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available.

(B)

In the first quarter of 2019, we recorded $2 million of asset impairment charges related to certain assets under operating leases in our Truck segment.

(C)

In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a restructuring charge of $1 million in our Truck segment.

(D)

In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a gain of $54 million related to the sale of a majority interest in the Navistar Defense business in our Truck segment, and a gain of $5 million related to the sale of our joint venture in China with JAC in our Global Operations segment.

(E)

In the first quarter of 2019, we purchased group annuity contracts for certain retired pension plan participants resulting in plan remeasurements. As a result, we recorded pension settlement accounting charges of $142 million in Other expense, net in Corporate.

(F)

In both the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, we recorded interest income of $1 million, in Other expense, net derived from the prior year settlement of a business economic loss claim relating to our former Alabama engine manufacturing facility in Corporate.
